Assuming Picasa blogs correctly, here is a picture of my carrot cake cupcake. Sadly, this is the best-looking one that I made. They tasted very good. The frosting was excellent. My cupcakes were ugly. Not only do I have no artistic talent but things went wrong.
Last time I made cupcakes from a modern recipe, I had the same problem. My batter overflowed the tin and cooked on. Then it stuck and got messy when I tried to remove the cupcake. In one pan, about six cupcakes were all joined together. What a mess! Obviously, I overfilled the tin. The recipe said it made 24 cupcakes, so I forced the batter into 24 cupcakes. I'd have been better off making a few extras that didn't overflow their cup. Since this happened to me recently, I'm wondering if modern cupcake tins hold slightly more batter than old ones. My tins are old.

I have the opposite problem. My cupcakes often don't reach the top of the cupcake tin. I'll often just make 10 cupcakes from a recipe that's designed for 12. Perhaps we should swap tins. lol!
It does look very tasty. I love carrot cake. Is that cream cheese frosting?
It is cream cheese frosting, and it tastes so good. That's what I like best about carrot cake.
Hehe! Absolutely!! I save the icing until last.
